2001 Chevrolet Zafira CD review from Indonesia
"Good exterior, but bad interior"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Power window didn't work
- Error on transmission
- Air conditioner didn't work
- Error on the immobilizer
- Door lock stuck.
General comments?
The reason why I bought this car is because not many people have it, making it look exclusive. I bought the green one because it looked nice in green.
The first time I bought this car, there was no problem on this car, but 2 weeks later, the power window didn't work. I replaced it with the new one.
Then another problem had occurred : there's an error on the transmission. When I put the gear in "D", the car didn't go. When I put the gear in 2, it can go but then you have to switch the gear into 3, then D.
I spent a lot of money to fix my car. About 3 month later, the immobilizer which scans any problem in my car had an error when I was driving on the highway. Then I took my car to the dealer. The dealer staff said that almost all Zafiras had this problem.
About 5 months ago, my car's door lock was stuck. I took it to the dealer again and I spent a lot of money to fix it.
The interior quality is bad. The dashboard is made of bad quality plastic. The gear box is also made of cheap plastic that can easily get scratched.
The seats are not comfortable because seats are very hard.
The AC is the worst, My son always get headache when he's riding my car. Yet, the smell of the interior is not great.
I think Chevy should not have sold this car, because it is unsafe and makes people not like Chevy.
